3 T6 i! s, t& D' S8 A" ^" {, P5 pThere was a time when the owners of the shops and businesses in Chicago # y+ y! I+ o9 M& A0 ?

If the money was not paid promptly, the gangsters would quickly put a man

not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman,
5 W; [9 g" I# Z; r/ f' u- rSir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather
/ y# B* p/ w, Z/ k$ hpay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.* Y/ Z. S* P8 D5 a( X. b0 a9 n
Six hundred years ago, Sir John Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of
5 P* F( G3 f( j$ lsoldiers and settled near Florence. He soon made a name for himself and ( f8 u2 b4 q( E3 n
came to be known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italians : x2 G+ F% |7 x6 D% o# @
city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers
* [+ _1 G/ E2 u) r/ Pto princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of
* I3 _5 H. e, S9 cpeace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state

ably remain immortal, for on November 21st, 1964, the greatest bridge in the# S# T  J2 `8 ~0 H- Q, I
world was named after him. The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span of 4260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer. Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has
